It’s no secret that brunch at Commander’s Palace is a New Orleans tradition. Actually, any meal at Commander’s Palace is a New Orleans tradition. And the Louisiana Seafood Blog Masters attendees were happy to honor that tradition with a jazzed up meal on a warm Sunday morning. Chef Tory McPhail, who put on a cooking demo at the Louisiana Seafood Festival, and the superb staff, didn’t hit a single sour note! The jazz music was hot, the dishes were decadent (and ENORMOUS!), and the heirloom tomato Bloody Mary was, well, bloody good.
